Anime: Re:Zero - Jobless Reincarnation

Claire stood beside Alice, looking eagerly at her. Alice did not see Claire's expression. The girl was still filled with joy that Roya agreed to her request.

Alice said to Roya in a pretentious manner: "In that case, my knight, I will make an exception and allow you to stay with me."

Alice's immature tone and pretentious appearance made the girl look particularly cute.

However, Luo Ya still said unhappily: "Just call me brother."

"Oh, then brother, please stay with me." Alice smiled brightly, like the spring breeze in April, making everyone feel relaxed and happy.

"Awei is dead!" An adventurer covered his chest with his hands, looking like he was having a sudden heart attack.

The adventurer next to him glanced at the other person unhappily, his eyes revealing contempt and disdain. But when he saw Claire's expression, he couldn't help but breathe heavier.

"This is so cute. Damn it, if I keep going like this I'll be considered a pervert!"

Claire, who was standing next to her, felt extremely sad.

She had been standing next to Alice for a while, but no one took her seriously, and her threat seemed like a joke to Roya.

Since I couldn't beat the other party, I could only stare at him and scare him, but now it seems that the so-called scare is just a joke.

After Russell saw that the matter here was dealt with, he coughed lightly a few times, walked in front of Luoya, and said to Luoya and Alice slowly: "Luoya, Your Highness Alice, please go on stage. Now is the exam session. After the competition is over, Luoya, you follow Alice."

Claire beside him was a little unhappy when she heard this. The girl still wanted to be a light bulb. Claire directly asked Russell: "What about me?"

"You?" Russell glanced at Claire and said casually, "If you can beat me, you will be treated the same as Roya."

Claire was speechless for a moment.

The people around all looked like they were watching a good show. Some adventurers even started to make a noise, "Damn it! How dare you look down on Lady Claire? I'll show you what a truly powerful person is."

"That's right, how can you tolerate this? Russell, if you don't accept it, I will look down on you for the rest of my life."

The noisy voices gathered together again, and the girl's face soon turned red, and it was unclear whether it was because of anger or other reasons.

Russell glanced at the people who had just made a fuss with a cold look, and said in a cold voice: "Stop making a fuss. Why, do you want to try it too?"

Those guys who were jumping and having fun just now suddenly became silent. They looked at each other and chose to remain silent.

The competition continued. Roya completed his training and successfully defeated Russell with one sword. He was then directly invited by Alice to become a guard knight and become the little girl's personal bodyguard in the future.

Chapter 298 I Like Them All

Just thinking about this, Luo Ya couldn't help but feel a little helpless. Looking at the girl's innocent and romantic expression, Luo Ya began to doubt whether the other party had planned it in advance.

The rest of the competition was nothing interesting.

There are not many adventurers who can defeat the knights. Even if they defeat those knights in silver armor, they still have to face powerful opponents like Russell.

Although Russell had saved face in front of Roya, he was knocked down by a sword and looked very weak.

But that's not actually the case.

When the adventurers who have defeated the knights come on the field, they will remember the fear of being dominated by Russell.

While they were fighting each other below, the two people above seemed to have nothing to do.

The young man straightened his back and casually glanced across the stage from below.

The girl was sitting in a light-colored long dress, with an elegant demeanor, her eyes not fixed on the fight below. Needless to say, the girl was a typical absent-minded person, in other words, she was distracted.

Luo Ya looked at it for a while, then lost interest and turned his gaze to the girl's delicate, doll-like face.

The girl's smooth golden hair fell to her waist. Looking at her hair, Luo Ya wondered if she would look better if she braided it into a pigtail.

The time of contemplation did not last long. Alice noticed Roya's gaze and looked back at him. Seeing that Roya was lost in thought, the girl could not help but ask, "Brother, are you angry?"

Alice's somewhat confusing words made Wei Wei startled. The boy turned his gaze towards the girl and asked in confusion, "What?"

"I didn't tell my brother about what happened today. I hope you won't be angry." The girl was a little nervous.

The girl's nervous look made Luo Ya laugh. Luo Ya raised his eyes, and his pale golden eyes met the girl's pure eyes. The young man said casually: "If you are afraid that I will be angry, why do you still do this?"

Alice was slightly stunned. The girl who reacted bit her teeth slightly and said aggrievedly: "I just want to spend more time with Brother Luoya."

Luo Ya did not comment, looking at the people below who were still in full swing, his expression remained calm, and the boy just said lightly: "Really?"

There is no further text.

The two fell into silence for a moment, looked at each other, and then looked away.

Luo Ya was not angry. He would not get angry about such things. Besides, he liked Alice very much.

The girl is very cute, a little smart, simple-minded and kind-hearted.

It would be a lie to say that such a girl is not lovable.

The silence between the two did not affect the passage of time.

Alice's left hand stroked the ring on her right ring finger, feeling the pattern on it with her slender fingers.

The ring is the most important thing to Alice. It is a symbol of engagement. As long as she gets it, she can become Alice's husband in the future. Of course, the ring is still in Alice's hands. In a sense, Alice can freely choose her own husband.

Alice wears the ring every day, and in her free time, she will touch it and feel its cool touch.

But this time, I don’t know what I said, but when Alice was stroking the ring, she inexplicably thought of Roya.

It was clearly just their first meeting, they hadn’t been together for very long, and they were clearly just strangers.

But for some reason, Alice wanted the other person to stay by her side and accompany her.

The girl thought so and secretly glanced at Roya. For some reason, Alice had an urge to hand the ring to Roya.

But this thought was quickly dispelled when he saw Luo Ya's calm expression.

When he suddenly wanted Roja to be his knight, he seemed a little unhappy. Now if he suddenly said something so abrupt, he would definitely be disliked.

Alice is strong. She can face any powerful enemy without batting an eyelid. She can rely on her own efforts to make everyone believe that she is a qualified royal.

But Alice was also fragile, and she was afraid of being rejected by the young man again this time.

Eventually, Alice gave up the idea.

Roya didn't know what Alice was thinking, the exercise below would soon be over.

Alice sat in a chair, looking a little dazed. Luo Ya walked to Alice's side, put his hand on Alice's shoulder, and said, "What do you want to do this afternoon?"

Alice came back to her senses from her daze, turned sideways, and looked at the boy's hand that was patting her shoulder.

Luo Ya was slightly stunned, and the young man asked curiously: "Doesn't Alice like this behavior?"

Alice shook her head, feeling the strong hand on her shoulder, and a sweet smile unconsciously appeared on the corner of her mouth.

The girl said slowly: "There's nothing I don't like. As long as it's from my brother, I like it."

Luo Ya covered his forehead helplessly. The young man rolled his eyes at Alice and said, "Alice, don't say such ambiguous words."

"Really? But this is not ambiguous."

Alice still had a smile on her face, but she was a little surprised in her heart why she said such a thing.

But when she saw the young man's helpless expression, she felt relieved.

Maybe he wanted to see more expressions like this from Roya.

Roya did not continue speaking along with Alice's words, but repeated his own words again.

"What would Alice like to do this afternoon?"

Alice fell silent, but the silence didn't last long. She leaned back on the chair and said limply, "In the afternoon, I have classes, etiquette class, piano class, and painting class."

Alice stopped talking after she finished speaking, but her clear eyes were obviously a little dim.

Roya did not let the silence continue.

The young man looked at the knights who had already withdrawn and said slowly: "How about I take you out to play this afternoon?"

Alice's originally depressed look instantly brightened up when she heard the word "out". She sat up from her chair and regained her original spirit. There was a look of expectation in her eyes. She asked impatiently, "Where are we going? Can we go outside?"

Luo Ya nodded slightly, his expression still calm, and Luo Ya just said lightly: "Go wherever you want to go, wherever you want to go, go wherever you want to go."

"Really? Is it really okay? Wouldn't it be bad to do this? For example, if I skipped the afternoon class and went out to play, my eldest brother would definitely be angry if he knew. If my father knew, he would also scold me."

Alice looked hesitant again. Seeing this look on her face, Luo Ya couldn't help but preach, "Alice, if you want to do it, just do it. Being cautious is not what the owner of the Holy Sword should be like. Alice, tell me, do you want to go?"

Alice's eyes sparkled as she said, "Alice, Alice wants to go out. Alice doesn't want to stay here. The palace is not fun at all."

Luo Ya nodded in satisfaction and said, "That's good. If you want to go, go."

The two quickly reached an agreement that Roya would accompany Alice to sneak out of the palace.

Chapter 299 Why not me?

Of course, doing so would inevitably make the entire palace nervous. After all, a girl who had always been very obedient would do such an extraordinary thing, which would inevitably make those in the palace nervous.

But as the saying goes, first time is unfamiliar, second time is familiar. Alice had never done anything like this before, and doing it for the first time was bound to cause strong dissatisfaction among everyone.

But what can we do about dissatisfaction?

Alice is not a puppet, she has her own ideas and she should not be controlled by the other party.

If I were just a puppet, spending every day in this palace in a daze, what would be the difference between me and a dead person?

Alice is very powerful. The fact that she can draw the holy sword shows that her strength and potential far surpass her predecessors.

In that case, why become a puppet?

Luo Ya looked at Alice with a calm face. The young man said calmly: "If you want to do what you want to do, don't let those people have such high expectations of you. There is no such thing as the best of both worlds in this world. Alice, haven't you realized it yet? You have been walking the path that others asked you to walk."

When the boy said this, the atmosphere became heavy.

The smile on the girl's face disappeared, but her delicate features, small nose, and cherry blossom-like lips were still there. She was still the same person, but now she was a little at a loss.

Luo Ya sighed, leaned over, smoothed the wrinkles on the girl's skirt, and said softly: "Alice, there is nothing wrong with the road others have paved for you. After all, most people here want you to have a better future. Many of the things they arranged are not completely useless, but ah, Alice."

The young man paused, then slowly opened his golden eyes, his pupils as dazzling as lava, and looked into Alice's eyes.

The young man's magnetic yet seductive voice sounded.

"They are not Alice, you are Alice, you know what you want, they don't know, they just do what they think is right."

"Alice, is what they think is right really right for you? You're feeling pretty fed up now, aren't you?"

The young man's gentle words echoed in Alice's ears. The girl opened her mouth, but in the end, she could not say anything.

"That's what I think."

Alice murmured, repeating the young man's words.

Claire below kept her eyes on the two people above, and saw Roya lower his head and say something to Alice, and then Alice showed a dazed look.

Claire subconsciously felt that something was wrong.

Roya's posture seemed to be telling Alice some twisted truths.

Claire frowned instinctively, and her eyes towards Roya were filled with a hint of hostility.

Damn it, he actually gave Her Royal Highness the Princess some strange ideas.

However, even though she was a little anxious, the training was not over yet and Claire had no way to leave the Knights.

Claire is a person who abides by the rules. For Claire, the rules and regulations of the palace seem to have become a part of her life. She does not allow anyone to touch the bottom line of the rules, but at the same time, the girl herself will not touch the bottom line.

Then, Claire was now faced with a difficult problem. The girl could only stand aside anxiously, staring at the two people in front of her.

Time passed little by little, and Claire wanted to rush forward and grab Roya's collar and ask what the young man had said to Alice.

However, this thought ended before it even began.

With a different mood, Claire waited for a long time and finally endured the training to the end, but when she looked up again, she could still see the shadows of the young man and the girl.

The seats were empty; the two had already left.

————————————————————————

It's about half past ten in the morning. This is the current time.

Luo Ya stood behind him and Alice stood in front of him. The girl had an unprecedented relaxed smile on her face. Alice would say hello to everyone who passed by.

It can be seen that the girl is in a really good mood and she has figured everything out.
